At the same time, Song Yuwei also breathed a sigh of relief; surviving was the best outcome.
As long as you're alive, anything is possible.
A precious life has been saved.
"Then, boss, I'll leave the rest of the treatment costs to you."
That smiling tiger spoke again.
Song Yuwei couldn't help but be wary of him, sizing him up before nodding, "I mean what I say."
"Then can you sign an agreement guaranteeing that you will pay for this treatment?"
The following words from the smiling tiger seem to reveal his true intentions.
Paper with words in black and white is certainly more convincing.
However, signing the agreement meant that Song Yuwei was now tied to this matter.
Song Yuwei thought for a few seconds and said, "Of course, we can sign an agreement. However, it needs to be clearly stated that I have no connection with this incident and am only paying out of sympathy for the injured party."
Before she could finish speaking, the smiling tiger retorted, "You said before that the responsibility wasn't necessarily yours, but now that we're talking about signing an agreement, you're just saying you have nothing to do with this. Isn't that just blatantly shirking responsibility? Trying to wash your hands of this by paying this little bit of money—you capitalists are really something else, so good at scheming."
The leader frowned upon hearing this, though he wasn't as menacing as before. "Boss, we only reached a settlement with you because we trusted you, but we're not willing to let you shirk responsibility. Don't think we don't know the law; we know that a person can't be without a conscience."
Song Yuwei pressed her temples. Sigh, it's true that following the crowd is the nature of most people.
Without independent and rational thinking, one will simply follow the crowd.
The other men also chimed in.
At this moment, the woman who had been watching from the corner without saying much walked over. She was dressed quite elegantly, and her long camel-colored dress accentuated her beautiful figure.
"You're Boss Song, right?" she asked Song Yuwei politely as she walked over.
Song Yuwei nodded. "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"I am Bai Muyang's wife," the woman introduced herself.
The so-called Bai Muyang is an artist from Song Yuwei's company who was just rescued.
"I see." Song Yuwei was quite surprised. This woman seemed too calm. Her husband had such a big problem, and she was just observing silently from the corner.
Moreover, when the doctor came out to speak, she didn't rush forward to ask questions, but instead watched from the side like a bystander.
This is enough to show that she wasn't very worried about the people inside.
"I understand if you don't want to sign this agreement, boss. After all, you can't just sign any agreement; you'll be held legally responsible."
The woman, with an understanding and reasonable demeanor, smiled and spoke.
Song Yuwei knew that she was not as polite as she appeared, so she did not relax at all. "Oh, thank you so much for your understanding."
The other men, except for Smiling Tiger, felt it was inappropriate and became quite agitated.
"You can't do that! Don't let this capitalist fool you! These business people know exactly how to trick others and fleece them. So, she'll definitely take advantage of us, who are completely ignorant about the law, to make us suffer while she makes a fortune!"
"Exactly! She was the one who provided the driver and the car, how could it not be her responsibility? She made it sound so easy when she said it wasn't her responsibility, but did she ever think about how hard it was for my brother inside?"
"Sister-in-law, you can't be so short-sighted at a time like this! This is a major event concerning our entire family. If you let her go, what will you do? The whole family will be unable to survive!"
Despite the strong dissuasion and opposition from so many people, the woman remained calm and composed.
"It's alright. In such a good era and society, no one can starve to death. At worst, I can go out and find work."
Her words only fueled the anger of the group.
The commotion continued. Song Yuwei took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Bai, just tell me. If you don't want me to sign the agreement, what else do you want me to do? There's no need to keep me in suspense."
Mrs. Bai looked at her and smiled. "Boss, you're joking. I'm just a housewife who rarely leaves the house. What secrets do I have to keep?"
I just wanted to ask you, if you're unwilling to sign this agreement, could we request that you transfer the money to my account right now? This money will be used for my husband's upcoming treatment.
Before Song Yuwei could say anything after she said that, the smiling tiger immediately spoke up.
"My sister-in-law is so smart! This way, the boss won't have to sign any messy agreements against his will, and we won't have to worry about whether the boss will keep his promises."
Song Yuwei watched the two of them singing in unison and gave a cold laugh.
“If that’s the case, it’s not impossible.” Song Yuwei paused for a moment, then continued, “But the premise is that you have to sign an agreement with me to ensure that this money is not spent on anything else and that every single penny is spent on his medical treatment.”
The smiling tiger clicked his tongue. "If we're talking about shrewdness, no one can outsmart your boss. You're just too distrustful of us! This is my brother's wife. Would she possibly harm him? How could she possibly spend the money meant for his treatment on something else? I think you're overthinking it!"
Song Yuwei became even more certain, "Since she won't spend the money elsewhere, then she's being completely open and honest. If that's really the case, then she certainly wouldn't refuse to sign a contract or anything, right?"
"Besides, you're afraid I'll back out and not pay you, so you want me to sign a contract. I'm worried that if something unexpected happens on your end, my money might be wasted elsewhere."
Having said all that, Smiling Tiger remained silent.
The others chimed in with agreement.
"That's definitely no problem. I think this is a good idea. This way, we'll get the money, and you can rest assured. Let's do it this way!"
“That’s right, this method is beneficial to both of us. You transfer the money to us first, and we don’t have to worry about you going back on your word. Once the contract is signed here, you don’t have to worry about your money being spent elsewhere.”
Let's do it this way!
